Chapter 65 Product Development
[Note: Information streamlining is in progress.]
Looking at the system's prompt, Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow. Isn't this just a purely enhanced version of the reconnaissance skill?
Although Wang Xiao hasn't yet figured out any other uses for the Information Extraction skill, he won't lose anything by using it as a reconnaissance skill with a lottery-like element.
Who knows, this skill might come in handy next time we encounter something strange.
As for the Night Abyss Rose, although it is poisonous, as long as the dosage is controlled, its benefits far outweigh the risks.
It can be used to temporarily fill the gaps before the biological research station and weapon research station are unlocked.
As Wang Xiao conceived the idea of developing Night Abyss Rose into a signature product for the hotel, the system sent him a new notification.
A perfect hotel, in addition to meeting the basic needs of its customers, must also have its own unique characteristics.
Some hotels attract a large number of food lovers with their food, while others rely on various special services to entice guests to try them, and still others have certain special meanings that make people vie to stay there...
Among countless peers, as the manager of a perfect hotel, how could your hotel not have its own unique characteristics?
The quest "The Beginning of Pioneering" has been triggered.
[Task Description: Please create or identify five unique features for the Peace Hotel and gain recognition from the Perfect Hotel system and the public.]
[Task Progress: 0/5]
[Task Reward: Unlocks hotel acquisition privileges, greatly increases hotel visibility, and grants 2 random blueprints.]
Having gradually come to understand how the system triggers tasks, Wang Xiao has slowly become accustomed to the system's sudden glitches.
As for the five unique features, Wang Xiao believes that as long as one is willing to put in the effort, it shouldn't be a problem.
The real difficulty of this task lies in the second half of the sentence.
It must gain the approval of both the system and the public.
However, the system's criteria for identification have always been unpredictable and full of unknowns.
Even though Wang Xiao has found the prerequisites for triggering the mission, he still hasn't figured out the system's judgment criteria.
Having come up with no particular clues for the time being, Wang Xiao stopped thinking about it.
The hotel has just opened, and the most urgent task is to find or create something that can increase the value of points.
Only by temporarily stabilizing the points system can the hotel operate smoothly in this chaotic apocalypse.
If the Night Abyss Rose truly has a significant effect on humans as described in the information extraction, it will greatly alleviate the pressure currently faced by hotels.
As for whether it can become a distinctive feature, Wang Xiao is not in a hurry.
Wang Xiao looked at the Thorn Knight, his fingertips gently caressing the petals of the Night Abyss Rose. They felt cool and smooth to the touch, lacking the velvety texture of ordinary roses.
"How many of these can you produce per day right now?"
After taking some time to process Wang Xiao's meaning, the Thorn Knight extended a thorny vine about half a meter long.
Wang Xiao guessed, "You mean you can only produce enough Night Abyss Roses to cover this one vine?"
Seeing that Wang Xiao understood its meaning, the Thorn Knight immediately tapped the tip of the vine.
A single Night Abyss Rose weighs 12g, which is considered an extra-large variety by the standards of roses in this world.
Wang Xiao asked again, "Can you produce it now?"
The Thorn Knight quickly sprouted vines and burrowed into the pile of corpses. Soon, buds began to grow on the half-meter-long vine that was extending in front of Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao roughly counted them; there were 15 flowers.
This number is honestly a bit low, but if managed properly, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the hotel's immediate needs.
After all, no matter how low the production is, it is a good thing that can increase the survival rate of survivors when facing danger.
Seemingly sensing Wang Xiao's regret, the Thorn Knight spoke up again, a rare occurrence.
"Eat...food...evolve...more..."
Wang Xiao asked in surprise, "You mean, as long as you eat more food, you can produce more Night Abyss Roses after you evolve?"
"Yes……"
Seeing that there was still a chance for things to turn around, Wang Xiao reached out and rubbed the Thorn Knight's soft tip, and chuckled, "Then it seems I'll have to find a way to get you to eat more."
Having gained Wang Xiao's approval, the Thorn Knight excitedly shook his vines, left Ye Yuanmei by Wang Xiao's side, and then crawled back into the pile of corpses to continue "working".
After carefully tucking Ye Yuanmei's body on the ground into his coat, Wang Xiao turned and returned to the hotel lobby.
Wei Yan had just finished dealing with a group of survivors who were asking about the ability users when he looked up and saw Wang Xiao. He immediately rushed over, sweating profusely.
"Boss, excuse me... wait, boss, isn't that what's inside your clothes?"
Upon seeing what Wang Xiao was carrying, Wei Yan immediately guessed where it came from.
Wang Xiao said softly, "Come with me to the kitchen. There's something new that we need Lu Ran to help us research."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Okay."
In the kitchen, Lu Ran was directing several temporary kitchen helpers to clean up the mess left over from last night's banquet.
Seeing Wang Xiao come over in person, he quickly wiped his hands and asked, "Boss, what's up?"
Wang Xiao said, "You guys can go out first. Just go to Zhao Yajun to settle your points."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Boss Wang."
After everyone left, Wang Xiao placed the collected Night Abyss Roses on the cutting board and briefly explained to the two of them the origin and effects of the substance.
After learning about the effects of the Night Abyss Rose, Lu Ran was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he managed to stammer out, "Boss, you mean, that monster... no, that new employee, can produce this kind of treasure?"
"Yes, but it's poisonous. If the dosage isn't controlled properly, it can be fatal."
While lighting a cigarette, Wang Xiao continued to share his thoughts with the two men.
"Since the daily production is currently limited, I'd like you to try turning this product into a beverage or a pastry, based on its characteristics, to serve as a signature feature of our hotel, thereby collecting points from our guests and alleviating some of the current shortage of supplies."
Lu Ran leaned closer and smelled the Night Abyss Rose. As a sweet fragrance entered his nostrils, it immediately invigorated him.
Lu Ran commented, "This tastes very good... and it's definitely invigorating. Boss, how would you like it made?"
Wang Xiao said slowly, "Let's start with the simplest method: soaking in water. Find a few volunteers and begin testing with the lowest dose."
Wei Yan stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Wang Xiao glanced at him: "Speak your mind."
Wei Yan said worriedly, "Boss, this thing comes from the Thorn Knight after all. What if... should we try it on a few... less important people first?"
Wang Xiao was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, I'll do it. If even I can't do it..."
Wei Yan and Lu Ran simultaneously exclaimed in surprise, "Boss! How can this be?!"
Wang Xiao waved his hand and said calmly, "I am the owner of the hotel. If even I don't dare to try it, then why should the customers pay for it?"
Don't worry, as long as the dosage is controlled, there shouldn't be any problem.
Just when Wang Xiao thought the two would agree with his approach, Wei Yan unexpectedly said, "No, I disagree! Boss, this thing is too dangerous."
Even if we were to try, I would be the one to do it, for three reasons.
First of all, I am not a person with superpowers. If this thing has the effect of stimulating people's potential, then we need to find a non-person with superpowers to try it in order to further understand its specific effects.
Secondly, as a hotel employee, only by personally understanding the effects can we better promote the product to our guests.
Finally, and most importantly, a hotel cannot function without a boss.
If anything happens to you, boss, the hotel will be in complete chaos within a day, and the cooperation with President Qin and his team will be affected.
Therefore, based on the above three points, I believe it is most suitable for me to do it.
Seeing Wei Yan suddenly become more proactive, Wang Xiao felt a faint sense of relief.
This kid has really changed a lot lately.
Indeed, practice is the fastest way for people to grow!
